My research goal is to build systems for robust camera-based vital signs monitoring for realistic, unconstrained applications. I work with hardware and software to jointly design optical systems and optimization-based algorithms to recover weak blood flow signals recorded by a camera from small color variations in the skin, corrupted by light variations and motion. Currently, I am working on a remote photoplethysmography system to continuously and unobtrusively measure vital signs using cameras for improved driver monitoring systems.

Before coming to Rice, I graduated from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, TX with a B.S. in Physics (summa cum laude) in 2015. At St. Mary’s I have worked on computational modeling of molecules and nanoparticles. I was born and raised in Gliwice, Poland.
